“Wild Animal” is not a Synonym for Child, Don’t Use it Like it Is
You can have your opinion about other people’s children, sure, that’s fine. And if they annoy you? That’s okay too. But calling a child a “Wild Animal” is WAY over the line.
Bonnie Moran is a stay-at-home mom of three, two of whom suffer from autism. One of them, her three year old named Ryan, also has ADHD and Pica. He acts out (generally like any three year old, if we’re being honest), and it apparently caught the attention of an anonymous neighbor, who left this note for the family –
“To the parent of the small child at this house… I open my windows for fresh air. NOT to hear some BRAT screaming his head off as he flaps his hands like a bird. I don’t care if it’s the way you raised him or if he is retarded. But the screaming… needs to stop. No one wants to hear him acting like a wild animal… it’s utterly nerve wracking, not to mention it’s scaring my normal children. By you just standing there talking to him don’t do anything. Besides you look like a moron as he walks all over you…”
